Jess C’s Party Playlist!

I am big fan of fun receptions. Who isn’t? Everyone loves to have fun. And music is one of the best things you can use to ensure just that. However, I’m personally not too keen on those “classic” wedding reception songs (I mean really… YMCA?). And not only that, but it’s important to both my fiance and I to have pretty clean lyrics in the songs we play. It’s a rather family focused event for us. I think that good music you really like should be played at receptions. We wanted a mix of modern dance songs, off-beat, indie picks, and quality, non-cheesy classics that a lot of people would know (Thank you Michael Jackson). So I scoured itunes, wedding blogs, and googled my way to creating our dance party playlist. It’s full of clean, dance-able, wonderful songs and I am proud of it. So whether you are going DIY-DJ or not, I hope this helps to get the party started at your reception

OH THAAAAAAANK YOU! I had a great list started for our wedding and last weekend I accidentally wiped it all clean (long story, I feel so STUPID) So this will help me get started again. You have no idea! What a blessing!
